Hi Gonzalo, > I'm running Puppet in masterless mode and trying to make Puppet dashboard > play nice with it in this non-standard setup.
some of the tricks that are useful in this kind of scenario are encapsulated in puppet-git / ppg, which I've written, and use at Remote Learner, where it is gradually taking over an infra with >2000 VMs. http://repo.or.cz/w/puppet-git.git > I'd love to hear how other people are doing this.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record... ppg has example code... > 2) Rsync (using --remove-sent-files) the reports from each node's > /var/lib/puppet/reports dir back to the puppet dashboard server In my case, the chosen transport mechanism is git protocol. ppg pushes it back to a different git repo (pulls from puppet.git, pushes reports to reports.git ) . There's code in ppg to "trim" git history. > 3) Run rake:import Instead of that, my code is using curl: http://repo.or.cz/w/puppet-git.git/blob/670a12233f563d47e32e47f09214590e26451a5a:/ppg-reports-to-dashboard#l38 this is barely tested, and we haven't put it in prod yet. It mimics what the puppet clients do. > The issue I'm having is that rake:import will create a new failed task I haven't got the foggiest idea about using rake:import. Have not dug into Puppet/Dashboard/Ruby internals too deep yet. cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first ~ http://docs.moodle.org/en/User:Martin_Langhoff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
